WHAT
TO SEE & DO IN AUCKLAND

Auckland Bridge Climb

With unparalleled access to the Auckland Harbour Bridge, this is
not just the most unique Auckland attraction; this is the only Bridge Climb in
all of New Zealand. Put another way, you’ve simply gotta do it! AJ
Hackett Bungy provides the only walking access onto this Auckland landmark,
complete with your very own tour guide to share with you the Bridge’s colourful
secrets and amazing architectural features, as well as point out some of the
best Auckland sights. Lasting for 1 1/2 hours, this Auckland sightseeing
tour will have you wondering whether to look at your feet or focus on the
spectacular views. And of course it also gets you up close and personal with
the Bungy Jumping action!

Forget shopping, forget lattes on the Viaduct – if you want an
activity in Auckland that really showcases the true Kiwi spirit, then the
Auckland Bridge Bungy (bungee) is not to be missed.

Featuring stunning views of the Waitemata Harbour and an exclusive
bridge walk out to our specially constructed Bungy pod, this experience will
thrill and surprise you, especially if you opt for a water-touch and enjoy a
nice ocean dip! Of all the adventure activities in Auckland, only the
Auckland Bridge Bungy Jump gives you the chance to, as one our adventurous
customers put it; plunge boldly into the thick of life!

Your 35 minute-long, action-packed, jet boating adventure tour
begins at the Viaduct Harbour in Auckland City. We are located next to
the Floating Pavilion which is on the harbour side of Te Wero Island carpark.
Once underway, we exit out of the Auckland Viaduct Harbour, turning left to
pass underneath the Auckland Harbour Bridge and past the iconic Chelsea Sugar
Factory to Kauri Point. The pace changes rapidly once we get out into
Auckland’s Waitemata Harbour. This is where the real fun begins as we open up
the twin 300HP Jet Engines roar into action! Hang on tight for the high-speed
180 and 270-degree manoeuvres, including high-speed fish tails, wave riding and
power slides. Our Jet Boat Skipper will whisk you into the Hauraki Gulf
for views of historic Devonport and North Head at speeds you won’t believe!
Take advantage of some local information and photo opportunities as we cross to
the other side of the Harbour. Prepare yourself as we race past Bean Rock
towards the Rangitoto Volcano with a few spins and high-powered stops around
Okahu Bay on the way.

COMBO: Jet Boat and Bridge Jump

Enjoy an Auckland Boat tour and then throw yourself off the
Waitemata’s most famous landmark the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

Rangitoto

Sitting majestically just off the Auckland coast, this 600 year
old volcano boasts a unique landscape of rugged lava crops, lush native bush
and sandy coves. Walk to the top for spectacular 360 degree views of Auckland
and the Hauraki Gulf islands, or hop on board our Volcanic Explorer road train
tour for a guided island experience.

Rangitoto and Motutapu are both pest-free islands. They are
sanctuaries for our native wildlife. Please help to ensure the islands stay
pest free. Check your bags and shoes for seeds, dirt, any insects or skinks,
mice and rats before travelling to these islands.

Walking on the island

The recommended walk to the summit takes about an hour at an easy
pace. Lookouts along the way provide some stunning views as you climb, and you
can do a detour to explore the lava caves. Other tracks that skirt the
coastline are sign posted from the wharf (see map on right). These walks vary
in length and difficulty, so plan your visit in advance and make sure you leave
enough time to return to the ferry wharf.

Auckland's Whale & Dolphin Safari takes you out on the
beautiful Hauraki Gulf Marine Park which is considered one the most
biologically and geographically diverse marine parks in the world. Over 22
species of dolphins and whales have been seen in the Gulf, and we encounter
marine mammals on well over 90% of our trips and whales on over 75% of our
trips.

Every safari is different and our experienced crew will find the
most exciting activity in the Gulf on the day. The trip also includes extensive
commentary on the most significant cultural and historical parts of this
amazing maritime park. With over nine years of continued scientific programmes
undertaken on board, our crew are some of New Zealand’s most experienced and
knowledgeable.

Surrender your senses to the beauty and magic of Tiritiri Matangi
Island, situated in the Hauraki Gulf and only a 75 minute ferry trip from
Auckland via Gulf Harbour. From the moment you step onto the island to the
moment you leave, you will be entranced by the serenade of gentle bird song and
the lush native bush. Tiritiri Matangi Island is one of the world’s most
successful volunteer conservation projects. It has been re-vegetated with
around 300,000 native trees and consequently 12 of New Zealand’s endangered
birds and 3 reptile species have been successfully re-introduced as a result.

Tiritiri Matangi, meaning “tossed by the wind”, is an Open
Scientific Reserve managed by the Department of Conservation (DOC) in
partnership with the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi Inc. The “open sanctuary”
status allows 150 ferry visitors daily from Wednesday to Sunday onto the
island. Here they can witness first hand some of New Zealand’s rarest
inhabitants in a natural and protected environment. Visitors can have the opportunity
to stay on the island overnight by booking through the Department of
Conservation (DOC). This experience is truly unique, observing New Zealand’s
nocturnal wildlife emerging as the sun goes down, wildlife such as the Little
Blue Penguin (the world’s smallest penguin), the Little Spotted Kiwi, and the
Tuatara are just some of the highlights.

A natural complement to the fine wines you will taste on Waiheke
is a range of hand-made specialty foods and locally-grown produce. A
visit to a local olive oil mill is followed by two boutique vineyards, each
offering a range of gourmet tastes to accompany their wines, such as succulent
oysters straight from Te Matuku Bay, wild honey, vincotta, the famous local
green herb spread and a small cheese board. The tour includes a two-hour lunch
stop at a beachside café or, for a more memorable gourmet experience, lunch at
one of our top vineyard restaurants. Lunch is an additional cost and it is
advisable that we reserve a table for you at the time you confirm your
booking. Ferry tickets can be arranged for you at $34.00 pp return (round
trip) - please contact us for more details. Times: 10AM FERRY EX-AUCKLAND
